RUKER CryoProbes™ offer a dramatic increase in signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) by
reducing the operating temperature of the NMR coil assembly and the preamplifi-
er. Their spectroscopic handling is very similar to a conventional probe. While the
sample temperature is stabilized at a user-defined value around room tempera-
ture, the NMR coil assembly - located a few millimeters from the sample - is
cooled with cryogenic helium gas. An automatic closed-cycle cooling system con-
trols all functions and guarantees excellent stability during short and long-term ex-
periments. As a result, the system is easy to handle. CryoProbes open new fields
for NMR applications e.g. where low sample concentration or long measurement
time are critical.
How to use this manual 2.1

This CryoProbe System Installation Manual guides you through the initial setup
and test of a CryoProbe System. Several procedures are the same as in daily
use, so they are described in the CryoProbe System User Manual. The two man-
uals are complementary and must both be available for an installation.
Use the appropriate "Check lists" on page 75
to keep track of your actions.
If you have a specific question, use
- “Contents”,
- “Index” or
- “Frequently asked questions”
to locate the answer.
Novice users of a CryoProbe System should read "Safety" on page 7
.
Further information can be found in the manuals listed in "Related documents"
on page 79.
CryoProbe System overview 2.2
0
A CryoProbe System consists of several subunits: CryoProbe, CryoPlatform,
cryo-compatible HPPR CRP, He steel-cylinder, and optional water chiller (Figure
2.1.).
The term ‘CryoPlatform’ summarizes the parts required to operate a CryoProbe
such as the CryoCooling Unit, the He Compressor, the Mounting Hardware at the
magnet etc. It is compatible with all B
RUKER CryoProbes and only one per spec-
trometer is needed.
